Every now and then you may need to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and site traffic. Additionally, there are spammers that leave links to shady Internet sites as comments to blog articles. This sort of things could considerably undermine your hard work, as no one likes to visit a website with hundreds of fake comments, not to mention that the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the web server where your Internet site is hosted, that can result in your site not working properly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs that produce the fake traffic, in order to make certain that the visits to your site are real.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

Our Linux cloud web hosting services provide an IP blocking tool, so if you would like to limit the access to your sites, it shall be able to do so with several mouse clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and which is a breeze to use. When you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you will just need to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and type in the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system will enable you to block entire networks also, so if you type 123.123.123., for example, this will block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites. In case you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with a click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a quite simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will enable you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your websites with simplya couple of clicks and you will not have any difficulties to accomplish that even if that's your first web hosting account. As soon as you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll simply have to select the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address within a box that you'll see there and you will be good to go. To restrict the access for an entire network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type in 123.123. and don't input anything inside the third and fourth positions, our web server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
